Hummmmm.......thinking out loud.........why not find an small, older pull behind camper.....take the axle off and set it on a frame that fit just inside of the deuce bed. Build a frame the same highth as the deuce bed that you could slide the camper off onto. If you put rollers on the bottom...

In response to the comment about the attraction of tractors.....I have a little deuce M275 tractor and I love it. I saved it frome the clutches of a logger who had designs of using it to pull loaded log trailers out of the woods. You can pull all types of trailers with it, flat, lowboy, dump...

Sounds like the little lady has a good head on her shoulders. A chip off the old blockhead.roflrofl

My WVO filter was fairly simple.....I cut the legs off a pair of blue jeans and put one inside the other. I tied off the bottom and hung them from a step ladder and poured the oil out of the cubies I recovered it in. Once I got all the big crumbs and gunk out I put it in a 25 gallon plastic drum...

While there may be isolated instances where light, thin skinned armored vehicles, or wheeled armored vehicles were pulled by a 5 ton tractor trailer (the vehicle referred to above) it is not normal doctrine. I have pulled a D-7 dozer on a lowboy behind a M818....it was overloaded to the max...

If you're gonna play......ya gotta pay. :mrgreen:

I cranked up a deuce I had been holding for a fellow member a while back...... a dead bird blew out along with a bunch of black muck. Eeeewwwww......stinky. Mermite inserts have a great launch capablity.

Or the "eating popcorn" smiley

Anything you buy sight unseen is a crap shoot....that being said I have bought over 20 trucks from GL and only got one with a bad engine (the M816 wrecker). At the price I got it for I expected that it would be rough. If I had to do over again I would have waited and got a better one closer...

The toughest aspect of getting a CDL (I am speaking of Alabama) is having a truck to road test in. That is why a lot of folks have to go to a truck driving school (CDL mill) and spend big bucks. If you have a licensed and insured tractor trailer (that will pass a DOT inspection) you can road...

It is the boom off of an "88"......they weigh 4,400 pounds each. They were designed to lift tanks and other very heavy objects.

VARYAG................my deuce is insured with J.C. Taylor..www.jctaylor.com

I bought a bunch of cords with a NATO adaptor on one end and a three prong civy plug on the other. They were used to operate a Fire Control Computer for Forward Air Support guys and were usually operated from a HUMVEE. I sold/traded most of them off but the plug could be cut off and any 24 volt...

I would save at least two feet of frame behind the lunette and the landing gear (if it is the crank up kind) to use to make trailers our of deuce or other frames. They are good trade items at rallys.

While I am all for getting the truck repaired properly going to the extreme my hurt the hobby as a whole. The recent fire of Big Case's truck and this incident might cause all insurace companies to re-evaluate the rates many of us get from our insurers. These companies do communicate with...

sweet!!!

Neither should be confused with the even more complex "thingamabobs" or "whatchamacallits".

I am considering doing the same thing.....my variation will be to use M105 axles (I have two) in place of the live deuce axles to cut down on weight. Another good use of a leftover deuce bed it to mount it on a Bolster Trailer. I have a dropside bed mounted on one and it is great. I just...

Yea!!!!!What Clinto said. If you don't make that rally you will have missed the most fun you can have without taking off your clothes (well...we're not too sure about what some of the guys do after dark). We will have an MKT set up and will be cooking all the old military favorites....S.O.S...

Since there are some "Flat Racks" coming up on an unnammed government auction site I have thought that one of them would make a cool dump/roll back bed.
